Chapter 450: Chapter 249: The Training Plan for the Shikigami Snow Woman_2
Thus, erasing the spiritual intelligence of a monster is largely beneficial for ordinary Yin Yang Masters.
The advantage of erasing spiritual intelligence is that you don’t have to worry about the monster rebels against his master; as long as the Yin Yang Master controls it properly, it will be at the master’s whim.
However, the disadvantage also stems from this. Once the spiritual intelligence is erased, the shikigami becomes like a walking corpse, and the Yin Yang Master must constantly chant spells and give commands to engage in battle.
If control is not maintained, and the shikigami is allowed to battle autonomously, the strength they display using only the instinctual actions left after their consciousness has been erased will be only a tenth of their potential.
That the Yin Yang Master needs to devote their attention to control is one drawback. Another is that the combat prowess that the shikigami displays is linked to the control level of the Yin Yang Master.
Ordinary Yin Yang Masters are considered skilful if they can bring out 50% of a shikigami’s strength.
Of course, the master’s level is far beyond this, estimated to be around 70 to 80%. Even when using an enhancing talisman, it can increase the abilities of the shikigami far beyond their own capabilities.
However, Lin Xun is not an orthodox Yin Yang Master, he is the leader of the Chaos Origin Dragon faction, and is a monster with ’royal bloodline’.
After some contemplation, he pressed ’no’.
Making the Snow Woman obediently swear loyalty to him is not a difficult task, erasing her spiritual intelligence will instead limit the Snow Woman’s powers.
[You have successfully turned ’Snow Woman of the Mountain Origins’ into a shikigami!]
[Current mandate slot: 1/5, shikigami owned: ’Snow Woman of the Mountain Origins’]
Lin Xun quickly opened the master’s panel, and there was an added separate shikigami panel under his panel.
[Shikigami - ’Snow Woman of the Mountain Origins’]
[Shikigami Level: 50 (+)]
[Shikigami Grade: Epic]
[Shikigami Equipment: White Kimono with Wide Sleeves (Excellent Level Equipment): A rather stylish kimono, adopting tie-dyeing technique, incorporating gold foiling and embroidery, the style is quite beautiful.]
[Shikigami Skill: Art of Transformation · Snow Dance (Epic): Casting this skill can transform the body into ice and snow, creating a possibility to dodge the enemy’s attack.]
[Shikigami Skill: Art of Transformation · Extreme Cold Territory (Epic): Casting this skill will create an extreme cold territory, causing a slowdown effect in enemies within the territory.]
[Shikigami Skill: Art of Transformation · Ice Frost Fall (Epic): Casting this skill will summon a frigid ice storm, dealing heavy damage to enemies in the area.]
"The skills aren’t bad, it’s just that the level sucks."
Lin Xun noticed a plus sign next to the shikigami level, he tries to click it.
[Do you want to inject 10000 points of spirituality to level up Snow Woman?]
[Please note, the level of shikigami cannot exceed the level of the ’Fire Worshiping Yiye Palace’s master’s shell!]
The good news being shikigami can level up, bad news is it’s expensive.
After obtaining the Legendary Grade shell of the Palace Lord, Lin Xun assigned this 65 level shell as the leader.
Now all the shells in the shell column are at level 65.
To upgrade Snow Woman to full level 65, it will cost 150,000 points of spirituality.
"I hope the Yin Yang Master can make money by selling talismans, otherwise I can’t afford to keep a few more shikigami..."
Lin Xun gritted his teeth, injecting spirituality to upgrade continuously.
"Inject, inject harder!"
He pushes Snow Woman to level 60 in one breath, consuming a whopping 100,000 points of spirituality.
However, just as he continues to upgrade to level 61, the underworld game suddenly raises the price!
[Do you want to inject 50,000 points of spirituality to level up Snow Woman?]
???
Lin Xun looked bewildered.
Seems like the price increases every ten levels, right?
Which means, to upgrade Snow Woman to full level, another five times are needed, the cost being 250,000 points of spirituality.
"Scared now, there isn’t much difference between level sixty and sixty-five, I’ll wait to upgrade until I have more money."
Lin Xun decisively chickens out, he still has a large loan to pay back to the female boss, can’t afford the burn-money nature of Snow Woman.
He began to summon the Snow Woman, wanting to check the power of the Shikigami that had cost him a massive sum.
[You are forming a seal and chanting, summoning the ’Snow Woman of the Origins’!]
[A woman in a snow-white kimono appears. Her eyes are full of icy resentment, and you can even feel the air around you dropping in temperature.]
[The neighboring land and trees are gradually covered with a thick layer of frost and snow, turning the early autumn wilderness into a winter scene in an instant.]
[You are forming a seal and chanting, commanding the Snow Woman to deploy her magical skills...]
[Yet the Snow Woman remains still with her arms folded, gazing coldly at you and raising a scornful smile at the corner of her mouth.]
Lin Xun rubbed his chin, "Seems like I still need to train her. Otherwise, she’ll just sit around while I’m being beaten down by an enemy, and she’ll just clap from the sides."
[You possess the shell of the ’Seeking Primordial Hermit’.]
[Having a dragon head and a human body, you shout, ’Little monster, bow before the ’Dragon God Descendant’!]
[The Snow Woman pouted, "I don’t know how you managed to practice the ’Art of Transformation’, but your way of manipulating monsters, just like humans do, proves that you’re the worst kind among monsters!]
[Dragon God Descendant? If you dare to defame the Dragon God again, you’ll face the consequences – even if he’s now a prisoner!]’
Lin Xun was amused. All the top-tier monsters have recognized the Little Dragon as a dragon descendant, and a mere snow woman dared to speak so arrogantly. She was truly ignorant.
He understood he needed to show some solid evidence; otherwise, the Snow Woman wouldn’t surrender obediently.
Being alone in the wilderness, Lin Xun unhesitatingly clicked on the transformation skill in his skill column—’Hermit’s Arrival’!
[Under the Snow Woman’s shocked gaze, you open your jaws filled with sharp teeth and unleash a dragon roar that echoes through the sky!]
[Your body suddenly grows, your body is unusually large, your limbs are strong, your claws and teeth are sharp, and a huge dragon tail extends from behind your buttocks.]
[Bulges grow from your shoulder blades, and a pair of huge dragon wings eclipse the sky and burst out!]
[You flap your dragon wings, creating a horrifying hurricane, causing the surrounding frost to surge and snowflakes to flutter.]
[Your Dragon Eyes look down at the stunned Snow Woman. A great dragon’s oppressive aura is released, causing continuous snowfall from the surrounding trees.]
[The Snow Woman’s eyes change from shock to confusion. She looks up at you carefully for a long time before finally affirming, ’Dragon God Descendant, your aspect is hardly dragon-like. You are undoubtedly a grotesque monster born of lizard, snake and bat monsters. Don’t think you can fool me!]
"God! Is the Snow Woman’s brain not screwed on right?"
Lin Xun suddenly regretted his previous decision. Would it have been better to erase the Snow Woman’s wisdom and let the palace master control her?
"Forget it, after already keeping her intact, why worry about the unnecessary things now."
His best course of action now was to take the Snow Woman to the ’Dragon Pond Temple,’ let his identity be proven in front of the host of monsters, so she’d willingly submit.
Lin Xun sighed deeply, about to cancel his transformation, when he suddenly saw an unused skill in his skill column.
[Dragon God Blessing (Special Skill): ...Apply this skill to dispel the Malice that haunts you according to the strength of your own bloodline. The stronger your dragon bloodline, the higher the chance of dispersion.]
The Dragon God Blessing played a huge role when he was eyed by the ’Extreme Delusional Evil Fruit.’
However, Lin Xun hadn’t had a near-death experience in a long time, so he hadn’t found any use for the skill.
He remembered that Dragon God Blessing had an extraordinarily dazzling effect. If he needed to prove his identity, using this skill would do just that.
"Isn’t this a bit of overkill?"
Despite his words, Lin Xun activated the skill.
[Special Skill ’Dragon God Blessing’ has been activated!]
[A faint dragon chant echoes from afar, and a phantom miniature golden dragon appears out of thin air, circling around you.]
[You feel that your father ’Chaos Origin Dragon’ is weaker than last time. His chant is like the dying whisper of an old man in a critical condition.]
[The circling golden dragon’s scales are dull, and after going around you once, it disappears...]
[Upon seeing the golden dragon, the Snow Woman’s eyes were wide. Then she quickly recovers, immediately kneels down, and calls out in a soft voice, "My Lord Dragon Descendant, please forgive me!"]
However, Lin Xun wasn’t focusing on the Snow Woman.
Looking at the text after using the ’Dragon God Blessing,’ he felt a sense of panic rising in his heart.
"Shit...The old dragon seems to be at his limits!"
